Solvay, NY -- A plume of smoke rose this morning from Trigen Syracuse Energy Corp. in Geddes, but responders at the scene said there was no fire, according to a 911 dispatcher.

The smoke could be seen from Interstate 81, though the smoke was coming from the Industrial Drive business in Geddes.

The coal-fired energy plant has fans to blow waste out of its smoke stacks, but lightening caused an electrical shutdown that turned off the fans. The smoke then blew out of the side of the plant, causing the smoke condition, said Solvay Fire Chief Peter Woodworth.

The power was restored and the smoke cleared. No injuries were reported.

An employee at Trigen Syracuse Energy said the company had no comment at this time.
